摘要：
For many older adults, falls are among the most ominous signs of aging, provoking fears of debilitating injury and loss of independence. Since most falls result from a complex interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, environmental as well as physical challenges must be assessed. Some of the current strategies for preventing falls are reviewed.
